our_o saviour_n miracle_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v be_v real_o wrought_v by_o argument_n not_o take_v from_o scripture_n or_o if_o he_o make_v use_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n against_o the_o jew_n he_o be_v to_o lay_v aside_o that_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v god_n word_n or_o no_o unless_o before_o the_o dispute_n the_o book_n be_v evince_v write_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n thus_o much_o premise_v 6_o i_o argue_v against_o à_fw-fr jew_n and_o ask_v whether_o he_o jew._n christ_n miracle_n prove_v against_o à_fw-la jew._n allow_v the_o historical_a part_n of_o the_o new_a

mose_n miracle_n and_o now_o i_o trouble_v not_o his_o head_n with_o the_o question_n about_o the_o divine_a inspiration_n of_o either_o book_n but_o only_o inquire_v after_o their_o truth_n in_o case_n he_o yeild_n equal_a truth_n to_o both_o he_o must_v grant_v that_o christ_n cure_v the_o blind_a raise_v the_o dead_a and_o that_o the_o apostle_n wrought_v such_o miracle_n as_o s._n luke_n recount_n in_o the_o act_n of_o those_o bless_a man_n etc._n etc._n if_o as_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o blunt_o reject_n the_o gospel_n relation_n as_o not_o true_a i_o ask_v what_o answer_n will_v he_o give_v a_o heathen_a that_o no_o less_o bold_o cast_v off_o the_o story_n of_o moses_n miracle_n as_o false_a and_o plain_o assert_n that_o the_o same_o reason_n let_v it_o be_v what_o you_o will_v whereby_o he_o attempt_v to_o discountenance_v the_o truth_n of_o one_o narration_n will_v every_o whit_n as_o much_o enervate_a the_o truth_n of_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o all_o miracle_n relate_v in_o scripture_n go_v to_o wreck_n which_o be_v to_o say_v god_n never_o wrought_v any_o by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n this_o the_o man_n of_o the_o synagogue_n prove_v or_o nothing_o in_o case_n he_o reply_v christian_n that_o admit_v mose_n miracle_n be_v tongue_n tie_v and_o can_v plead_v against_o they_o i_o answer_v we_o plead_v not_o

in_o discourse_v with_o a_o heathen_a about_o miracle_n convince_v heathen_n also_o convince_v record_v in_o scripture_n a_o rational_a demand_n be_v whether_o he_o yeild_n as_o good_a credit_n to_o

upon_o moral_a certainty_n believable_a in_o case_n he_o deny_v i_o be_o not_o to_o take_v his_o bare_a word_n but_o must_v know_v the_o ultimate_a reason_n of_o his_o denial_n which_o will_v ever_o be_v petitio_fw-la principii_fw-la or_o in_o real_a truth_n no_o reason_n but_o a_o self_n conceit_a fancy_n just_a as_o if_o one_o shall_v senceles_o reject_v what_o ever_o livy_n or_o caesar_n have_v write_v because_o he_o will_v blunt_o answer_v a_o reply_n answer_v do_v so_o upon_o no_o reason_n the_o heathen_a may_v reply_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o all_o natural_a

and_o above_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v high_o against_o reason_n to_o hold_v the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n forge_v because_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a i_o prove_v demonstrative_o that_o matter_n of_o fact_n record_v in_o scripture_n be_v not_o feign_v upon_o this_o ground_n the_o prophet_n long_o before_o christianity_n be_v establish_v foretell_v clear_a matter_n of_o fact_n which_o some_o thousand_o of_o year_n after_o evident_o prove_v true_a as_o that_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n that_o the_o old_a priesthood_n shall_v

strange_a and_o wonderful_a prediction_n whereunto_o we_o may_v add_v our_o saviour_n most_o certain_a prophecy_n in_o that_o know_a parable_n of_o the_o vineyard_n where_o speak_v to_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o pharisy_n he_o clear_o foretell_v their_o ruin_n and_o rejection_n before_o it_o happen_v and_o no_o less_o clear_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n these_o prophecy_n the_o whole_a

visible_o come_v to_o pass_v speak_v truth_n and_o can_v forge_v nor_o feign_v because_o fact_n exact_o agree_v with_o the_o prediction_n take_v away_o all_o suspicion_n of_o forgery_n but_o this_o you_o see_v be_v evident_a if_o you_o compare_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n with_o what_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o new_a have_v express_v and_o we_o see_v fulfil_v with_o our_o
